Licht Jekylland Todoroki

Licht Jekylland Todoroki, also refered to as Licht Todoroki, is a famous pianist from Austria who thinks he's an angel. He is the Eve of "Lawless" the Servamp of Greed.

Appearance
He is a slightly tall boy with black hair that has a large white strand of hair on the right. His eyes are grey, and he's normally seen with an annoyed expression.

Personality
Although Licht is already 18 years old (and in Austria officially an adult), he behaves often like a naive child. He thinks himself of an angel and means it - he seems to be far off reality. Even though he is very violent,especially towards vampires. He seems to love animals (as shown in the Drama CDs), but he does not recognize the other Servamps if they are in animal form.

You never see him smile- mostly he has a serious or angry gaze. It's easy to influence him with the right methods. Although he seems to be cold and cruel, he still is a child in his heart.

Background
Licht was raised by his parents in Austria, Vienna (German:Wien). His mother is a international celebrated pianist from Austria and his father a star violinist who originally came from Japan but was raised in France. Since his early childhood Licht loved to play the piano and was very good at it.

Once he was so nervous at a concert that his hair became white - although it became black again, one part of his hair remains white.

Later on a tour he found a hedgehog in his room and initially loved it. He named him "Hyde" and did not know what he started. He left his room (probably for the concert) and when he came back, he found a young man standing in his room. It turned out, that this man was the hedgehog from before and is - in truth - the Servamp of Greed called Lawless. By accident Licht formed a contract with him and from this time on, the two of them always fought with each other. Licht believing he has to kill and purify that demon and Lawless making fun of Licht (who believes he's an angel.)

First meeting
Licht comes to Japan because it seems a relative to Licht wants to organize a concert in Tokyo. So he, alongside Lawless and his manager Rosen Crantz, travel to Tokyo. Licht does not know that the so called "relative" is an impostor and actually Tsubaki.

The evening before the concert, Licht is in town (probably to follow his hobby karaoke) and is observed by Mahiru Shirota - but as Mahiru is so bad in observing Licht soon recognizes him and confronts him.

After he is sure that Kuro is also a Demon, he attacks him. Licht kicks him with his boots and Kuro is sure, that these boots are his weapon (Lead).

As Lawless shows himself (before he was as a hedghog in a cage) he tells his brother, Sleepy Ash, that he tricked him, Mahiru, and also his Eve Licht because it would be funny if Licht and Kuro fought.

Licht initially gets mad and kicks his Servamp. He also tells Mahiru that he doesn't want his Servamp and is searching for a way to kill him.

Showdown in the Opera
While Licht gives his concert (in Tokyo's Opera) his Servamp Lawless is attacked by Tsubaki's Subclass. (All of the audience are in truth Tsubaki's Subclass what makes about 2,000 of them). Lawless succedes in destroying nearly all of them and even has fun doing it. The only one who survived were Belukia and Lila. The two of them managed to escape.

Licht did not really recognize what happened while he was playing, he just shouts at his Servamp that he was to noisy while he was playing the piano.

So after the show Eve and Servamp part ways. Licht goes to sing karaoke all night long. When he wants to return to the hotel, he realizes, that his legs are so heavy, he nearly can't walk anymore and phones Rosen Kranz. He askes him where the hell this "shit rat" is - meaning Lawless.

Suddenly the weakened Licht is attacked by Higan - the strongest fighter of Tsubaki's Subclass. Although Licht can fight him pretty well, he still is hurt badly. Mahiru and Kuro come to his aid. But just when Kuro is about to attack, he is captured in some mysterious ball. Licht "creates" a large piano (and plays it in walking over it) and with it's music he tries to encourage Mahiru to fight in telling him: the question is not IF he wants to become someone but WHO he wants to become. But he fails and is beaten by Higan who kidnaps him.

Kidnapped
Tsubaki keeps Licht and Lawless in his HQ imprisoned. The two of them are in seperated rooms, but can hear each other. First they think they only hear each others voices in their heads but realize that they really are not that far from each other. They start to argue - they talk about what happens if Licht dies here, but for Licht, dying is out of question. As the argument escalates, Licht somehow frees himself and destroyes the wall between them.

For the first time, it seems they work together when they try to fight Tsubaki and just in that moment, Tsubaki manages to defeat Lawless. Soon afterwards C3 appears and scares away Tsubaki. The fight is over and Licht alongside his Servamp goes to Mahirus home. There he is lured away by C3 who promise him to have a lot of melons at the HQ. Lawless tries to make clear that this has to be a trap, but Licht does not listen.

C3
After Tsurugi Kamiya went on a rampage in the C3 headquarter, Licht and Lawless found Mahiru and Kuro who were no longer able to fight and promised that they will stop him. They later met Wraith on the way who picked them both up and ran after Tsurugi.
